Thanks for providing proof via PM.

I have merged all three accounts for you. You should be able to log in with any of your emails and it will log you in to the same merged account.

It seems your previous account was linked to a different email than what you tried to log in with. It was registered a long time ago with a @volny.cz email address, and has a bunch of posts.

Yes, but if you try to do that, the system would prompt you to log in with that email.

When you tried to log in / sign up with your @seznam.cz email, it created a new account for you, because we never had an account with that email.

And you have also signed up to another account with a @mikros.cz email.

If you can show us some proof that the first account belongs to you, we can probably merge all three accounts for you.

Our community needs your help to keep the lights on.

Coderanch is a massive, free resource for the Java and programming community. Providing a safe and supportive space for people to connect, share knowledge and find the help they need.

But our aging server is struggling to keep up with the growing demand and we're at risk of going offline. To ensure our forums remain accessible and reliable for everyone, we need to purchase a new server.

With your support we can upgrade our infrastructure and ensure coderanch continues to thrive for years to come.

When you contribute to this fundraiser you're not just helping us replace the server - you're investing in the wellbeing of our entire community. Every dollar you give means more people can access the resources, advice, and friendship that have made coderanch so valuable. Together we can keep this community alive and kicking.

Give now to power the coderanch forums and strengthen our community. Your support makes all the difference!

Thank you for being a vital part of our community and for your generosity in supporting coderanch!

Here are the two options we're looking at:

Good, but not very upgradeable:
$4800
$4,468.57 for the server
~$144 in processing fees
~$187.43 in unforseen comedies

Excellent and very upgradable:
$9300
$8,795.99 for the server
~$279 in processing fees
~$225.01 in unforseen comedies



I would like to thank our hosts. I have gotten hosting at many places, only for things to go sideways for one reason or another. When we hit a bump in the road with evolution hosting, we get a human that gets on it and gets it sorted. They always make things right. I have been getting hosting from them for 23 years now!

    Vaadin Modernization Toolkit

    Is Swing holding you back? The Modernization Toolkit automates the conversion of the Swing application to a modern web application.

    convert to vaadin

    Why choose the Modernization Toolkit for Swing to web app migration?

    Get the job done with automation

    The automation provided by the Vaadin Modernization Toolkit can refactor the bulk of your Java code so you can quickly kill the tail of legacy dependencies and move forward with an architecturally coherent new application.

    80% OR MORE OF THE CODE CAN BE AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTED

    Java modernization, not just emulation

    The Vaadin Modernization Toolkit helps migrate Java applications to Vaadin Flow, Vaadin’s open-source framework for building web applications with Java. After the migration, there will be no remaining dependencies on old frameworks such as Swing, SWT, or JavaFX. The Toolkit supplies useful features familiar to developers from old frameworks in a Feature Pack, but it does not emulate technologies like Swing.

    60% LOWER COST OF MODERNIZING A JAVA SWING APP

    Code readability built-in

    We built the Modernization Toolkit to produce code humans can read and maintain. Your transformed application sources retain the original structure, naming conventions, comments, and whitespace. Changes made by the transpiler are almost always applied within the same line of code, meaning your developers can confidently take ownership.

    80% LOWER EFFORT OF DEVELOPERS AND TESTERS OVER REWRITE

    What’s Vaadin Flow?

    Vaadin Flow is a unique full-stack framework that lets you build modern web apps 100% in Java without writing HTML or JavaScript.

    Start a free modernization assessment with our expert to learn more about how the Modernization Toolkit turns your Swing app into a modern web app.
